Don’t know whether to be happy or not 🤔

So I had an MRI done last week for another illness and they sent the results to my consultant.. he just called to say that my last TPO were 32,000 and judging from the MRI, my thyroid is completely gone “nowt left” is his words so my hopes of eventually coming of eltroxin have been dashed..

And while that’s bad news (or is it) the good news is that hopefully now I’ve stabilized.. I can get the weight off :)

To be honest, your chances of ever coming off eltroxin were never very high. But, you still need to be on the right dose to be able to lose weight.
